GitHub is changing the way that software gets built. Conceived originally as a way to make it easier for developers to contribute to open source projects, GitHub is rapidly becoming the default platform for software development. More than just a tool for storing source code, GitHub provides a range of powerful tools for specifying, discussing, and reviewing software and other text-based documents.

Who This Book Is For
If you are working with developers on a software project, this book is for you, whether you are a:
• Business stakeholder who wants to have a sense of how your project is going
• Product or project manager who needs to ensure that software is delivered on time and within budget
• Designer who needs to deliver anything from mockups to HTML/CSS for a project
• Copywriter who’s adding marketing copy or other content to a site or an app
• Lawyer who’s reviewing the legal implications of a project or writing the terms and conditions or privacy policy
• Team member who needs to review, comment on, and/or contribute to the project
• Technical writer who’s making sure a project’s documentation is up to date for all collaborators to help them get their jobs done
• Developer who is new to using GitHub and wants to learn how to collaborate using GitHub in a team
If you need to view the progress of a piece of software while it’s being developed, if you would like to be able to comment on the progress, and if you’d like to have the option of contributing changes to the project, this book will show you how to effectively collaborate with a software development team by using GitHub.

Beyond Software
While GitHub is still primarily used to collaborate on the development of software, it’s also a great way for a team to collaborate on a wide range of projects. From the authoring of books (like this one) and the distribution of models for 3D printing to the crafting of legislation, whenever you have a team of people collaborating on a collection of documents, you should consider using GitHub to manage the process. Our examples will assume that you’re working on software because that is currently the most common use case, but this book is the perfect guide to collaborating via GitHub on any kind of project.
